Vancouver

Hi Everyone!

We're just about to spend our last night in North America, waiting to get some take-out with Morgan's old floormates. We arrived yesterday morning around 9am and checked into the Sheraton Wall Centre. After a quick nap, we walked around campus for most of the afternoon. Laura thinks the campus is really pretty. We met some of Morgan's friends on campus and then we went to The Noodle Box for dinner. Amazing! We came home around 7 and managed to stay up until 11 watching Grey's Anatomy. Today we woke up and went for a delicious breakfast at Cafe Crepe. We then rented bikes and biked around Stanley Park for the remainder of the afternoon. The views of the city, mountains and water were absolutely gorgeous. We took a quick tour around the Vancouver Aquarium where we saw some great sea life. Morgan and I took turns holding a cute and cuddly millipede (see pictures below). After a stroll downtown, we went back to the hotel where we find ourselves now. It looks like everyone has arrived, so we'd best be off for dinner! We'll see you in six months, North America! Try not to miss us too much!

  1. I can't believe you held a giant millipede. What if it was parasitic? I'm calling it. You probably have little millipede eggs burrowed underneath your skin.

    And now you're in Australia, and those eggs are going to hatch and escape into the wild. You've threatened Oz's ecosystem with a foreign species!
